The National Assembly (NA) President Heng Samrin on Wednesday spoke to mark the 31st anniversary of the creation of the Solidarity Front (02 December, 1978-02 December, 2009) held at Chaktomuk hall on Wednesday
The NA president recalled the history of the Solidarity Front, the first effective resistance against the Khmer Rouge. “We all struggle to remember the past when we were miserable and bereaved during the 3 years, 8 months and 20 days under the Khmer Rouge regime,” he said. “The Khmer Rouge regime struggled over the success of Cambodia people to be independent, peace and freedom, and destroyed things … such as the national infrastructure.”
The NA president said that on December 2, 1978, the Solidarity Front changed its name to the Solidarity Front for the Development of the Cambodian Motherland in the ‘liberation region’ in Chheung Chhlou Village, Snuol Commu- nce, Snuol District, Kratie province.
Cheam Yeab, NA Commission 2 president, called on Cambodians not to forget the history of December 2 and January7. “I lost nearly 30 relatives including my children, uncles, brothers.”
“If you drink water, you do not forget the source of the water,” Cheam Yeab told DAP News Cambodia during his talk with Soy Sopheap, DAP Media Center General-Director on Wednesday.
Heng Samrin also confirmed that the Cambodian government congratulates fugitive Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Sinawatra for his appointment as Prime Minister Hun Sen’s and the government’s economic advisor. His remarks came after the two countries diplomatic tie have deteriorated after Bangkok leaders recalled their ambassador to Phnom Penh after anger at the appointment of Thaksin as PM Hun Sen’s advisor.
At the end of the ceremony, some representatives from state ministries and embassies in Cambodia provided garlands for the NA president.
